Interventions
- Surgical implantation of CortiCom system — DEVICEImplantation of Cortical communication system, consisting of one or two Electrocorticography (ECoG) grids connected to a transcutaneous patient pedestal.
Study Details
The CortiCom system consists of 510(k)-cleared components: platinum PMT subdural cortical electrode grids, a Blackrock Microsystems patient pedestal, and an external NeuroPort Neural Signal Processor. Up to two grids will be implanted in the brain, for a total channel count of up to 128 channels, for six months. In each participant, the grid(s) will be implanted over areas of cortex that encode speech and upper extremity movement.
